Run a game while computer is sleeping
Is it possible to run a game while the laptop or computer is sleeping (or some low powered state where the sound of the machine is very quiet) ?

No, it won't overheat, I have a thermapad.

Most likely, you can run the game in sleep mode, but it might have some random errors while coming out of sleep. Sometimes games corrupt shaders, textures, or other things when coming out of sleep, but for the most part I think it will work. You're just going to have to try it on games yourself.
